I have been using my L4240 for fel work on a hillside and would not do so without having the rears loaded. This is my first tractor with HST and 4x4 and I am really liking it.
As to the weight of the new machine vs what i currently have. Yes i have thought about the weight of what i currently have and what it would be if i removed the backhoe and filled the tires. From what i figured the weight would still be quite a bit more than the machines i am currently lookin at, with the exception of the mahindra which would be about the same. So i am looking at a bigger wider tire on a lighter machine and if i put on turf tires as suggested on here i could use the machine on manicured lawns with much less damage which is my goal.
